Manufacturing Workflow System

GPO is actively working on a project to replace its legacy Production, Estimating, and Planning System (PEPS) with a state-of-the-art Manufacturing Workflow System (MWS). The MWS will provide job entry, inquiry, scheduling, estimating, and tracking functionality for GPO's Plant Operations and Customer Services. It will also integrate with evolving enterprise-wide systems, including GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys), Oracle Financial applications, Business Objects reporting tool applications, Pitney Bowes delivery tracking system, and the Address Distribution List Management System (ADMS).

MWS will be the enterprise resource planning system for GPO's Plant Operations department. It will be responsible for collecting, maintaining, and managing all applicable job information that Plant Operations produces. MWS will align with GPO's Strategic Vision for a 21st Century and the agency's Enterprise Architecture.
